BS in Natral Resources Management

Environmental problems are fundamentally natural resource and ecosystem management problems. Finding solutions and providing leadership on environmental issues requires a broad based foundation in natural resources science and ecosystem management. This program provides broad-based training and comprehensive understanding of the interdependence of ecological and sociopolitical systems in the context of natural resource and ecosystem management. A B.S. in natural resources management will prepare students for a wide variety of career options. Students may find employment as resource managers in the private sector, state and federal agencies, and non-governmental organizations. The NRM program will prepare students who want to develop more specialized skills at the graduate level through research or coursework based degrees. Other students will pursue this degree program due to their interests, and use it as a more broadly defined qualification as they enter the job market or graduate, law or business school.
